So how does the software know that a page is up for deletion? Pending deletions are done using templates, not by some internal mechanism by the software.
Yet.
*cough* Deletion work queue? *cough*
*ding ding ding* We have a winner!
Since marking things for deletion, discussing them, and then either letting them disappear or cancelling it is
a) A very common operation
b) Relatively easily codified in a queue system
it's a prime candidate for adding more software support. This is particularly so given that that software support would make it a lot easier to give people the feedback they need to:
a) not feel like they're being personally attacked or betrayed by other people
b) find out about what happens to their pages
c) get closure
